Miss Toof joined us in the classroom and we read Blackout by John Rocco. The students visualized what it would be like to live in an urban community with no power in the middle of the summer. We practiced our questioning skills before, during and after reading.
In math this week, the students played the difference game to refresh their understanding of basic subtraction and how it relates to addition. You could play at home with a deck of card and pennies!
At the computer lab our class made snow flakes on the computer by making small snips with their mouse. Some of the students were able to make very detailed designs!
At the STEM lab, the second grade students began their study of states of matter. This week they experimented with different quality play doughs, different play dough ingredients and recipes.
